Have you cooked a turkey on convection roast?
Comments (42)Shoot- just wrote a long comment/question and it seems to have lost it. I just read this whole thread. I have cooked loads of turkeys but this will be first on convection. I have an almost 21# bird in the freezer (moving to frig tomorrow -Sunday). I usually brine but wanted to use less this year to be able to use the broth/drippings. I usually start breast-side down. I just read Pioneer Woman's article on trussing, so I am planning on doing that. I don't stuff but am open to the idea of putting butter and/or stuffing under the skin. (If it was going to be stuffed under the skin right before roasting, wouldn't it be okay to use my own stuffing recipe with eggs?) I have a digital probe thermometer that will beep when the set temp is reached. Question- How much salt is enough in brine solution and yet not too much to make the broth overly salty? I like MOIST flavorful turkey- I love gravy. I cannot stand the chokingly dry white meat my in-laws served years ago. ugh. That's what I really want to avoid....See MoreDisappointed in new air fryer--do you like yours?
Comments (13)I think the big problem is that you started with too many adjustments. There was another thread here recently praising an air fryer so much it almost tempted me. :) The way it works is by blowing hot air, like a compact, powerful convection oven. Some have a stirring want for making chips. I can do the same thing in my wall oven and use tongs to stir. :) The whole point of the air fryer rather than the wall oven is to be compact, and super easy and not tie up your oven (they were invented for making French fries in tiny European apartments where you're lucky to have more than two burners and there's no oven). By starting with the Todd English video, you put it back to difficult. The time for cooking chicken increases non-linearly with how big/thick the pieces are. That's why "fryer" sized chickens are supposed to be small. Try it again with some French fries or sliced potatoes, some breaded tenders or strips, and other smaller things that people report success with. Get some successes of your own under your belt and learn how the machine work. Follow some recipes exactly, not just method, but exact size and quanity of the exact food recommended. And when it says spray with oil, spray with oil. There are some cans of oil spray that have pure oil (and therefore you must check them to make sure they don't go rancid in the cupboard), and there are some pump sprayers you can put your own oil in that work pretty well for awhile, though they tend to wear out too fast. Once you've mastered the stuff everyone else is doing, you'll have enough knowledge and experience with the machine that you should be able to adapt your own recipes and borrow methods from videos. The view is a heck of a lot better from the top of the learning curve!...See MoreAir fryer or deep fryer?
Comments (9)"Having experimented with both, I've found the air fryer to be a game-changer. It offers that crispy finish with significantly less oil, making dishes a tad healthier. Plus, the cleanup is so much easier!" "While nothing can truly replicate the taste of deep-fried goodness, I've been pleasantly surprised by the results from my air fryer. It's a great balance between taste and health. Remember to preheat it for even better results!" "It really boils down to personal preference. Deep fryers give you that authentic, indulgent taste. But if you're looking for a healthier twist without compromising too much on the crunch, the air fryer is the way to go. I've made some delightful dishes with mine!"...See MoreHave you ever cooked half a turkey? And how to cut it in half?
Comments (26)I've been roasting halves for the past 8 or so yrs, I wouldn't go back to roasting an intact bird The faster cook time is also a plus I like to do the backbone removal on a half sheet tray I usually roast both halves and freeze the other well wrapped in plastic and foil This recipe inspired me to try this method - BTW - I used a combo of dried herbs as I had them on hand https://www.housebeautiful.com/lifestyle/recipes-cookbooks/recipes/a684/tyler-florence-turkey-recipe/...See More

3 years agoI've bought similar turkey breast rolls at Bristol Farms, but they don't always have them, and they are much smaller - probably only half a breast, if that. I cook them in our smoker and then slice the meat with a meat slicer for sandwiches.
The ones that Bristol Farms sells have an elastic netting around them, and I remove that after they are cooked.
